Driving Schools Mitcham (CR4)Our driving school proudly serves the Mitcham (CR4) area with automatic and manual driving lessons. The information below is intended to help you develop your driving skills further in the key driving competencies and has been provided by our DSA-licenced driving instructors. We hope you find it useful. Areas to do controls/Moving off & Stopping It is best to start this subject on a quiet road like Victoria Road. Left/Right turns and emerging at T-Junctions WDS recommend doing a circuit which starts on Edenvale Road emerges left on to Ashbourne Road and then takes the first left on to Stanley Road. On Stanley Road we can take the first left on to Milton Road and then emerge right on to Edenvale Road. At the end of Edenvale Road we can emerge right on to St.Barnabus Road and then the first right on to Stanley Road. On Stanley Road we can take the first right on to Milton Road and then turn back on to Edenvale Road. This allows the learner to practice steering, MSPSL and Peep and Creep techniques.
Crossroads The crossroads of Edenvale Road and St.Barnabus Road can be used to illustrate priorities and the extra observation applied at crossroads. Meeting Traffic Meeting traffic is a situation where two vehicles are trying to pass through a space where only one car can pass. In these situations it is often vital to read the body language of the other vehicle. This is especially so where there are cars on both sides of the road and no priority exists. St.Barnabus Road and Gorringe Park Avenue are perfect to develop experience and understanding of this difficult topic. Roundabouts The roundabout where Streatham Road, London Road, Locks Lane and Eveline Road come together; can be used to illustrate priorities, methods of positioning and the appropriate signals for a given exit Pedestrian Crossings and use of Signals Driving down Holborn Way and Upper Green West there are plenty of crossings which can be used to demonstrate the various different types of crossings and the rules applying to road markings. Planning issues can also be addressed on these routes. Areas to do manoeuvres Reverse around a corner can be practiced at the corner of Victoria Road and Heathfield Drive. Another nice corner to use is the corner of Victoria Road and Friday Road. The turn in the road exercise can be done down Victoria Road. Parallel parking can also be done in Victoria Road.

It is said that learning to drive is one of the most important things to accomplish in one’s life. The freedom you get from getting behind the wheel of a car and setting off to wherever your heart desires is an unrivaled feeling. These days, there are many driving schools out there, so it can be a difficult decision choosing one that will guarantee success. At Wimbledon Driving School there are many first-rate instructors who have the necessary patience and skill to help make passing your test as easy as possible. From guiding you through the relatively tricky theory test, to giving you as much confidence on the road as possible, so that when it comes to the big day of your practical examination, you can glide through with ease. Making sure you have the right instructor is very important if you want to ensure you pick up the right habits. The driving schools Mitcham has a decent pass rate for those taking their tests in the area. This could be as a result of the easy driving conditions of the surrounding area, but it is as likely to be down to the quality of the instructors. Given you will be spending a significant amount of time with your instructor, it is important you feel comfortable with them, so make sure to choose someone that you can build a rapport with, as there are likely to be moments when you will need a friend sitting next to you as opposed to having someone you don’t particularly like. As a first step it is recommended to book an initial lesson with the firm to see how comfortable you are with both the car and the instructor, before booking a block set of lessons, which you can do later.
